ObHack:
This is a script I wrote to grab satan as soon as it is available.
The hack here is the little bit of awk to resubmit the at job.
I have no cron access here.
Someone over my shoulder just pointed out that I don't check that
satan.tar.gz exists. notice, however, that once we get the file, we
stop submitting ourselves.
